........What I DO know is that just this morning I was talking with several people that were thinking about relocating here from up North. But, SADLY, this very incident about the Applebee's shooting has convinced them to NOT move to Florida. Between the lack of facts released ( they suspect a COVER-UP) about the Applebee's incident and the recent (almost daily) stories of shootings in Orlando, they intend to PASS on Florida. I suggested the Research Triangle in North Carolina or one of the Carolinas near a University.
........I could NOT in good conscience recommend The Villages or ANYWHERE in Florida. And besides Crime, there is another factor that they were NOT aware of (until I told them) - the summers are BRUTAL hot and outside activities are nearly impossible. Also, the predictions are for MORE heat for the whole earth for, at least, the next 8 years. I was a Boy Scout so I could never lie to them - maybe the Chamber of Commerce and Real Estate Agents can and will.
........They mentioned that the Applebees shooting could attract a nationwide audience because of the Racist possible component and the Police possible cover-up. It is possible that Al Sharpton has been made aware of this situation. And as of now, the DEAD black man's family can NOT afford a lawyer.
Wut? "Racist possible component"? "Police cover-up"? Care to cite ANY proof to those assertions?

And only you could turn a shooting @ Applebees into a Global Warming threat...
